Introduction to Permaculture
Cost $85
Permaculture is a rapidly expanding global movement to help build resilient communities in the face of peak energy and climate change. Permaculture, short for permanent agriculture or permanent culture, is a broad based sustainable blending of our communities with the natural ecosystems.
This two-day workshop will combine classroom and field work to touch on a broad range of relevant topics tailored to the interests of the participants and relating specifically to the workshop site.
We will explore working definitions of permaculture, discuss the history and ethics of the movement, and outline basic permaculture principles as they are applied to real world situations. General site analysis techniques will be discussed with a focus on how permaculture strategies and techniques can be applied in both rural and urban locations.
An outline of the weekend activities and a list of recommended lodging, for those traveling, will be provided for all who attend.

Autumn Harvests for Winter Medicine: Roots, Bark & Berries
$65 (includes supplies)
Autumn Harvests for Winter Medicine: Roots, Bark & Berries
Before winter takes hold, we have this last opportunity to gather the herbs that will keep us healthy into the next season. In Autumn, herbal roots, barks, and berries are at their peak. We'll venture into the garden and forest to visit healing wildflowers and trees, and you'll learn how to identify, harvest, and process these plants from start to finish. We'll make birch and pine needle tea, echinacea root tincture, wild cherry bark honey, elderberry syrup, and root tonic vinegar. The class will include demonstration and hands-on remedy making (you'll see how easy they are to make!) and samples of the finished remedies from our day's adventure.
Maria runs Wintergreen Botanicals www.wintergreenbotanicals.com in the pine forests of New Hampshire and devotes her life to teaching people the beauty and power of backyard medicine. She's worked with herbs for 15 years and has studied at the Southwest School of Botanical Medicine, Lichenwood Herbals, Sage Mountain, and Heartsong Farm. She sees clients, teaches extensively, and is a freelance writer and health editor for Herb Quarterly magazine. Maria is also the founder and coordinator of the New Hampshire Herbal Network www.nofanh.org/herbs, a nonprofit group of more than 100 local herbalists dedicated to promoting herbal education, connecting, and supporting the vitality of herbalism in the state.
